BMW replica is made of brick

Replica of the BMW Z4 for $ 1.2m brick. A citizen of China, offers a replica of the BMW Z4 for $ 1.2 M, the unique BMW Z4 is made ​​up of hundreds of stone-brick arrangement. Dai Geng the sculptor, spent more than a year to embed and integrate hundreds of pieces of bricks a replica BMW Z4 dipahatnya. Except in the window, the entire replica BMW Z4 is made ​​of bricks, even including a door hinge can be opened the lid like an ordinary car.

Replica of the BMW Z4, now on display in Shenzhen, Guangdong province of China, and some other areas, and was offered for sale. Geng said, 'Only the windows are not made of brick, the rest, including tires, steering, exhaust pipes, and the interior, made ​​of brick. He hoped, Replica BMW Z4 can be used as a garden ornament, and was bought by the rich lovers of BMW. The stone-brick car has a length of 5 meters, a width of 2:15 meters, and height of 1.6 meters. With a weight of 1.6 tonnes.

Ekranoplan

Ekranoplan (Russian: экраноплан) is a vehicle resembling an aircraft, but operating on the ground effects. This effect can diarasakan when it landed in a commercial flight; shortly before landing, the speed can be felt modestly reduced. Ground effect vehicles (GeV) can fly on any flat surface, the height from the ground surface varies according to vehicle size.

During the Cold War, ekranoplan appear for several years in the Caspian Sea as a large object, and fast-moving. The name "Caspian Sea Monster" was given by the U.S. intelija are confused about this great vehicle, which looks like a plane with the wings clipped the outside. After the Cold War ended, the "monster" it appeared as one of Russia military draft is flying just meters above the water, save energy and are under enemy radar observations.

KM, as one of the known models in the top-secret Soviet military development, with more than 100m long and weighing 540 tons when full charge, and can move at speeds over 400 km / h, only a few feet above the water surface. When it moves with a certain speed, ekranoplan no longer in contact with water, and can move on the ice, snow, or other flat surface.


KM  type

Since the fall of the Soviet Union, commercial development has been done mostly in the United States. (wikipedia.com)

The Legend of Longest Rivers in the World - The Nile

Nile River in Africa, is one of the two longest rivers on Earth. Nile River flows along the 6650 km or 4132 miles and split no less than nine countries are: Ethiopia, Zaire, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Sudan, and of course Egypt. Because of the Nile has the same meaning role in Egyptian history (especially ancient Egypt) is identical with the Egyptian Nile.



The Nile has a very important role in civilization, life and history of the Egyptians thousands of years ago. One contribution of the Nile is its ability to produce fertile soil as a result of sedimentation along the river basin. Fertile soil of Egypt allows people to develop agriculture and civilization dating back thousands of years ago.


The world's longest river and empties into the Mediterranean Sea or the Mediterranean Sea, specifically in Egypt. Many people know this. However, not many people know where the location of the river upstream.

The Nile flows on the west side of the African continent from south to north, is a combination of the White Nile (White Nile) and Blue Nile (Blue Nile). The two rivers join at Khartoum, the capital of Sudan.

 
Disgorge the White Nile at Lake Victoria. Lake area of ​​68 680 square kilometers located on the border of Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania is the largest lake in Africa, while the Blue Nile headwaters at Lake Tana, Ethiopia.

However, countries in southern Uganda have another version. According to them, Ruvironza River, Ruvubu, Klagera, and so the cutting edge in Rwanda and Burundi water flowing into Lake Victoria.

Similarly, the Democratic Republic of Congo to Lake Albert, which is located on the border with Uganda, helped supply water to the Nile. These countries also claim as a source of the Nile water. Thus, the Nile flows recorded in nine countries, namely Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, RDKongo, Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt.

Newton's laws of motion

Did you know?

Newton's laws of motion are three physical laws that form the basis of classical mechanics. This law describes the relationship between the forces acting on an object and move it causes. These laws have been written by a different discussion for nearly three centuries, and can be summarized as follows:

1. First Law: Every object will have a constant velocity unless there is zero resultant force acting on the object. Means that if the resultant force is zero, then the center of mass of an object remains at rest or moving with constant velocity (not accelerating).


2. Second Law: an object with mass M experiencing the resultant force of F will accelerate a similar direction to the direction of the force, and proportional to F and inversely proportional to M. or F = ma. It could also mean resultant force acting on an object is equal to the derivative of linear momentum of the object with respect to time.


3.  Third Law: action and reaction forces of the two objects have the same magnitude, with the reverse direction, and line. This means that if an object A which gives a force of F on object B, then object B will give the maximum force F to the object A. F and -F have the same magnitude but different direction. This law is also known as action-reaction law, called the action with F, and -F is a reaction.


The third law of motion is first summarized by Isaac Newton in his Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, first published on July 5, 1687. Newton used his work to explain and investigate the motion of a variety of physical objects or systems. For example, in volume three of the text, Newton showed that by combining the laws of motion with the general laws of gravity, he could explain Kepler's laws of planetary movements. 

Well, now we already know about Newton's laws of motion ...
